Jesus

Mom is Jesus dead?
well no, he did die but he was resurrected and will never die again
Why doesn't Jesus come to church then?
He does go to church he is just really busy working with the prophet
Whyatt says that Jesus isn't my brother
well, Whyatt is wrong, Jesus is your brother
He's not Whyatt's brother, Whyatt doesn't even know him!

Thomas and Friends

Deakan is pretty much obsessed with Thomas and Friends. He loves the terribly boring shows and would watch them all day long if I let him. He has picked up some pretty funny sayings from the shows. For instance, "Look mom, my friends are journeying across the rocks to my house." or "Mom you are going to have to shunt me into the shower because I'm carrying a heavy load." or "We need to take this food to the villagers." He is really into pretending to be things. All day long he is pretending to be one of the many many trains and wants me to pretend too. I can't wait until Mav can pretend with him so I can get off the hook.

Maverik

Out of no where Deakan comes up to me:
"Maverik is starting to get awesome just like me!"
Yes he is.

Snakes

"Mom let's read this book,"
OK
"now listen you have to be very tough"
huh
"there are snakes in this book and they are very scary"
trying not to laugh at him.... ok honey
"now get ready and read to me"

Daddy doesn't cry

While I was washing the windows today Deakan came by and said
"daddy doesn't cry does he mom"
nope he's pretty tough huh
"I'm pretty tough too mom"
yes you sure are honey
"when I'm big like daddy I won't cry anymore ok mom?"
Sounds good but don't grow up to fast!

Grandma

We were having breakfast and talking about the up coming events like Grandma coming to visit when we got to the topic of how big Deakan is getting. Then Deakan said "Mom, Grandma is big like you huh?" "Grandma better not jump on the jumpaline, she might break it and fall in the dirt!"

Thomas S Monson

Deakan was in nursery at church and it was his buddy Wyatt's turn to say the prayer. Well Wy got a little distracted during his prayer and started talking about his grandpa's horse and a few other items off topic. So Deakan with his arms folded and his eyes still closed leaned over to Wy and said "just bless Thomas S. Monson." What can I say we have taught him well, he never forgets to bless Thomas S. Monson in his prayers. He is the cutest little prayer in the world!
